Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open



Welcome one and all to our Jubilee Weekend Club .

As I am sure you will all have noticed, we have got the bunting out and the hall is totally jubilantly decked. The red white and blue theme has been continued with jubilation throughout the building and even the stables have been repainted puce (which is the colour we got when we mixed the red white and blue paints).
Members who wish to identify themselves as jubilarians may do so by signing the Big Book on the sideboard in the lower lesser grand ballroom.

Tonight's jubilar raffle so far has for prizes:


1 silver jubilee mug (slightly cracked)
1 golden jubilee tea towel (slightly washed out)
14 Union Jack flags (all full size)
6 red buttons
7 white gloves (some pairs)
8 blue berets (the hats, not the men)

petal I'll get your err was it a shawl or a coat?

[tenrec]

I only went to find petal's coat and now I've come back you've all hidden. Where is everyone? Don't you need a fill up?

[DaisyNonna]

Yes please ten. Unless you know an unattached Philip. Suppose a drink is as good as a drunk.

[nungate]

I'm over here Ten, in the inglenook, my pail could use a little replenishing.

[gness]

I`m fine under the settle thank you, hic......

[DTCwordfan]

Jubilllily hide and seek no doubt......

[flump1]

Oh yes please tenrec, a refil of Jubilee would be lovely . I am waiting for the riffle to be drawn to see if I am lucky this evening.

[DaisyNonna]

DT You must lead a very secluded life.

[tenrec]

Ahh, Daisy, alas all the Philips are taken I think.

gness & nungate - I thought you had hidden from me.

It's a bit spooky here when there's nobody around.
Will Ladyalex mind if I pop into the library and borrow a book to read over the next week.

[DaisyNonna]

Not hide and seek! Sardines. Much friendlier.

[tenrec]

No, no not sardines, you'll encourage the croc.

Ode to the Castle Inglenook

Who hath an AB book
Hath Castle friends at hand,
And tailcocks and nibble gear
At their command;
And Lady J's rich estates,
If they but look,
Are held by them
Who hath a book.

Who hath an AB book
Hath but to drink and read
And they may be
A Lady, indeed.
Their kingdom is
Their inglenook
All this is they
Who hath an AB book.

[DaisyNonna]

Anybody seen Excel? Or did we frighten him off last week? Pity if we did.

[DTCwordfan]

well tenrec is surviving.......

[tenrec]

DT I think you should be the resident Bard. I know you wouldn't get paid (they aren't going to pay me for all this work I have done tonight), but I'm not bitter!

[tenrec]

DT it takes more than this to finish me off. (Ooh that sounds a bit rude!)

[nungate]

Hi Daisy, are you in fine fettle this week?

Excel said he was going to Spain so he might be over there at the moment

[DTCwordfan]

I am the resident Bard, tenrec, free board and boars, as well as lard.

[tenrec]

LOL DT

[DaisyNonna]

DT, am paranoid about running out of books to read on a Bank Holiday, a Sunday or after 7pm. So I have my Kindle! Stress level alleviated. Now lack of alcohol needs to be addressed. Please Ten.
